So you pass "common sense" club control, and the lunatic chokes the doctor with his bare hands.

Is it starting to sink in yet?

Here's a better idea. What if we passed "common sense" LUNATIC control -- like we had when we were kids and the lunatics were kept in lunatic asylums and the murderers were simply executed?

There weren't any fewer guns when we were kids. Heck, in my Oklahoma hometown, every pickup had a rifle in the gun rack in the window. We just had fewer lunatics and murderers.

How about we try that again?

Excellent post; you left out one of the biggest reasons for gun carnage - psychotropic drugs (especially for minors). There are many sources but here is one:
